dude call or e-mail the company or supplier and tell them your situation, they should be more than willing to help you out. cos it`s your money that puts food on their table. or find someone else from a supplier list who will even if is from out of state

they are in the back of magazines such as car and driver. I used it here in Houston. The rim I cracked looks new.

Good luck!

Thanks for the replys, I thought about goin to rim fix places but considering it not an expensive rim y fix if i can get a new one for almost the same cost? And I dont think i can fix it it pretty bad.. i try to upload a pic, its cracked on the outter rim area... I called the company i ordered from they said i have to wait a month or more for just a rim even though they have plenty of sets there but wont separate those... my steelies are bald so no spare...

My friend was driving my car to help me get some stuff done since he was free and I was working... driving on the BQE in Queens .. bam cracked rim but the tire didnt lose any air though.

i might be able to get one today, I know they've got the black ones, but i'll have to check for silver. P.S. turn on your IM's, you've disabled it.

contact the wheel maker direct and see if you can get one. i say the place u go to is ghey if they wont sell you just one. take ur rim off of ur car and slap them in the nuts with it if they give you crap again. thats BS IMO

damn that sucks. The city should pay for your rim. I bent both my front rims on one of those 1/4 metal plates they put in the ground to cover construction. The city gave me money to replaceboth my rims. Good luck.
